Concerts this Saturday...

This is a non-newsletter... there are 2 really neat concerts to consider for Saturday night:

1) I am performing with Yvonne Hsueh (violin instructor at WOU), Ron Kilde (jazz violinist) and our very own Gwen Gates (senior at West) with the Salem Pops this Saturday at the Elsinore Theatre - 7:30. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for students, and free for under 12. The first half of the concert will feature the pops orchestra playing movie favorites, the second half is called "Violins Through the Centuries" where we soloists will perform baroque, classical, romantic, jazz, and rock violin solos with the orchestra - I'll be playing Bach and will bring out my electric violin for a the rock tune.
